Dante: "Yeah."
Randal: "Now, the first one was completed and fully operational before the rebels destroyed it."
Dante: "Luke blew it up. Give credit where credit's due."
Randal: "And the second one was still being built when they blew it up."
Dante: "Comliments of Lando Calrissian."
Randal: "Something just never sat right with me that second time around. I could never put my finger on it, but something just wasn't right."

Well, no not really, but he did have the 'dad' attitude down.

GravatarFrom the below thread, RE: "Hootensnooter".

So, some years ago, I'm doing some volunteer work locally, and had scored some free Macs.

Now, in order to use them, we had to install an Ethernet card in them. The logic board had a special slot for them, called the "Comm Slot".

Well, the Windows guy (it figures) constantly referred to it as the "Cum Slut".

Until I had him fired for annoying me.

Dude, DO NOT fill up the Windows machine with S&M porn at the non-profit that's paying you to teach Windows to the elderly and immigrants.

GravatarVeterans Day Messages from Troops In Iraq, Filmed By Defense Dept., Feature Replica of Twin Towers
After months of studied ambiguity, President Bush finally admitted that Iraq had “nothing” to do with the attack on the World Trade Center. The Defense Department, however, appears determined to perpetuate the myth.

Today, the administration released veterans day messages from troops in Iraq. These “taped messages from the U.S. Defense Department” featured a replica of the twin towers in the background. Here’s a screen shot:

GravatarBush and Blair discuss new policy for Iraq

Transatlantic phone call anticipates top level submissions to influential study group next week

The Observer

Tony Blair and beleaguered President George Bush have had a long discussion on how to push forward 'change' in the coalition's policy in Iraq.
In Friday's phone conversation, Blair, who will give evidence to the Bush-appointed Iraq Study Group on Tuesday, insisted on the need to regionalise the peace effort and draw Iran and Syria - which have been accused of supporting insurgents - into any solution.

Well, it wasn't just facial beauty, it was the physical type, and I think Cate did that well. But they needed tall and skinny/lithe, so most of the elf extras were college students. I think in this case shooting in NZ was a drawback, not enough population to draw from.

For college kids? Yup. But actually I dug the music, and the shirts and CDs were just gravy. I played a lot of Limbomaniacs and Blue Hearts, too. Drove them to the top of the alternative charts, actually--NHK (Japanese radio) interviewed my friend because we pretty much were responsible for all the Blue Hearts' airtime in the US and they wanted to know why a Japanese band was "so popular" in Maine.


GravatarThe local radio announcer, broadcast the local high school's playoff game (my alma mater) said that the football huddle was invented in Muskegon in 1909. I did not know that and I am casting a jaded eye on this information.

GravatarWell, it wasn't just facial beauty, it was the physical type, and I think Cate did that well.

Yes she did. And I suppose that the whole point about the elves, especially the most noble among them, was that they had a preternatural beauty that was inherently inhuman. So it's pretty hard to cast humans that live up to that standard on the face of it, and therefore hard to fault Jackson for making compromises there.

chucks a well spoken voice of reason, at least that's what he sounds like but he is what's wrong with the Democratic party. He is republican light and no voice of change. His slimy comments and sucking up to faux spews only undermines the good works of this last election. And for the life of me I cannot understand Reid or his promised appointment to LIEberman. Maybe the senate needs a new democratic leader and maybe schumer and Emanual should get the boot.

I've been wondering about that. Liebermann has been courted by both sides of the aisle.

This promised post might keep him on the Democratic side. Since the Democrats are such a mixed bunch, Pelosi will have to work hard to keep them in line. But Lieberman wandering over to vote with his Republican friends would make it 50/49 and that is too dangerous.

Pigboy, first, sorry about seeming so condescending earlier. I was trying to pull one of those Molly Ivins things.

The answer is, there are 49 Republicans and 49 Democrats in the new Senate, and the two independents, who are going to caucus with the Dems, which gives them control. Sanders is for all practical purposes a Dem, but Lieberman is of course well known to side with the GOP when it really counts (like cloture votes).


GravatarBut Lieberman wandering over to vote with his Republican friends would make it 50/49 and that is too dangerous.

Joe is a wanker but he's not completly stupid. He saw the blue wind. There's nothing at all for him by siding with the GOP cause he's loose then the few democrats who voted for him. He also knows he would loose his comity seats the second he votes a different way than Harry Reid. Actually you can almost say that now he will be more predictable than before. He will have to walk the blue line or he's powerless.

GravatarAnyone familiar with the Dr. Seuss story What Was I Scared Of?

It's about a boy-creature of unnamed species who encounters a pair of pants in a spooky moonlit woods.

He flees, but the pants pursue him running, in a rowboat and on a bicycle.

Finally he summons the courage to befriend the pants, and finds them harmless. He concludes "Poor lonely pants, with nobody inside them"

GravatarPROVIDENCE, Rhode Island (AP) -- Two days after losing a bid for a second term, Sen. Lincoln Chafee said he was unsure whether he would remain a Republican.

Chafee lost to Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse in a race seen as a referendum on President Bush and the GOP. On Thursday, he was asked whether he would stick with the Republican Party or become an independent or Democrat.

"I haven't made any decisions. I just haven't even thought about where my place is," Chafee said at a news conference. When pressed on whether his comments indicated he might leave the GOP, he replied: "That's fair."

Chafee, 53, is a lifelong Republican who has represented Rhode Island for seven years. His father held the same seat for 23 years before that.

He is the most liberal Republican in the Senate and was the sole Senate Republican to vote against the war in Iraq. But that was not enough to prevail against Whitehouse, who shared many of Chafee's views but was a Democrat in a heavily Democratic state.

It is the natural consequence of selective environmental pressure applied to a self-perpetuating stochastic process over deep time.

In the brodaer perspective, of course, the whole universe is a random process. It is the enthalpy of the sun that drives self-organizing behavior in the random soup of molecules on planet Earth and locally reduces the entropy level.

I submit that this is the most incredibly geeky comment on any blog ever.
1. The poster is bragging about how a Saturday Night Live sketch has cleverly satirized his political opposition.
2. The poster uses the abbreviation "SNL" in manner of hip individual.
3. The poster is using "Tore new one" expression in manner of tough person of stature of Chuck Norris or similar.
4. The poster has made up his original sexist term of abuse for the next Speaker of the House of Representatives. He seems to hope that this term of abuse will catch on and thus earn him a measure of Fame.
5. This person has numerological concept of Minister Farrakhan or similar.
6. Poster is acting malevolently in textual manner in Internet Blog Comments Section on Friday night.
The evidence, frankly, is overwhelming.

I donno about the German General Staff, but Admiral Yamamoto was certainly convinced that if Japan couldn't beat the US in the first six months then Japan was toast.

Really unfortunate to see Toshiro Mifune in a turkey like the Pearl Harbor movie. He was so damn good in Kurosawa's flicks, especially "The Hidden Fortress" and "Yojimbo".

Hmmm, movie showed today about the Japanese attacks on Attu.

And, Alaska was a territory back then too. But.....

Part of the theme was "last time an occupying force landed on the US since 1812.

So...


GravatarIn addition to attacking American ships (which is, as we know, tantamount to attacking the country) and invading a ton of American holdings (which is, as we know, tantamount to attacking the country) the Japanese did, in fact, attack the mainland of the United States. At least twice. Ineptly, true, but they were attacks. Once with a sub shooting at California, and once with balloons intended to start forest fires. There may be better examples, but it's getting late between my ears...

NTodd has a page with pictures of Eschaton posters, and used the "Get a brain morans" guy for the picture of Merkin.


GravatarI offer apologies to Barry from Alaska re the Yamato.

Before she was sent asunder, she had peripheral participation in the Battle of the Phillipine Sea, the Battle of of the Gulf of Leyte, and Okinawa, though she never sank another ship in combat.

She capsized and sank after US Navy aircraft dropped 8 direct bomb hits and 10 torpedo hits on her hull.

GravatarInteresting thing about the Yamato and the Musashi, they were built with 18" guns because the United States couldn't build a ship with 18" guns and get it through the Panama Canal. I guess that made sense to someone.

GravatarWiki says the the US Navy put 386 aircraft in the sky after the Yamoto's battle group.

They wanted that boat, badly. Just like the Bismark four years earlier.

I guess they would have shit a brick if the US opened a major shipyard on the Pacific. Worked out well enough anyway.

The thing I've always found amazing about big Naval guns is, they are not attached to the ship, they are just dropped in.

If the ship capsizes, they just dropout.

One December back in the 90's I visited an old friend in Montreal, and he kept his house at 15C. (60F)

Even with a t-shirt, shirt, and sweater and long pants on, after several hours of heat loss, I started shivering so violently that I had to put on an outside coat. After some choice words in French, he gave in an put it up to 66F, which was tolerable with the sweater. My feet never did get warm on that trip. The crazy part of all this was that it was cheap - Hydro Quebec power.

Gravatarkinda think all the battleships were East Coast things. Alway been the center of US big shipbuilding.

They would dock at the Hudson piers from time to time. Phenomenally big boats. Some of them are too big even for there. They might somehow make it up the Hudson if it were specially dredged, but the piers are not sized for the largest.

GravatarSubmarine construction is definitely East Coast. Electric Boat in Connecticut, or Newport News Shipbuilding in Virginia. The contracts go nowhere else.

"On Sunday, November 12th in Racine, I will hold my 1000th Listening Session with the people of Wisconsin.

I'm still sticking with my assertion that major ship construction is an East Coast thing.

All the Pacific yard you referenced are repair yards. Nothing to be sneezed at at all, but ....

Hell, our Alaska State Ferries get built on the East or Gulf coasts.


GravatarSo Harry Reid is taking the place of Boehner who replaced Blunt who replaced DeLay.

Pelosi is taking the place of Hastert. Hastert is not running for Minority leader. Do we know who will?

GravatarIssac Asimov of one of the best scifi writers, although I base that on mostly his earlier short stories. The later more voluminous stuff I never really got into. Ray Bradbury is another singular scifi guy. There's a hndful of them. Heinlein is another, and Vonnegut.

The books are: Foundation [1951], Foundation and Empire [1952], Second Foundation [1953], Foundation's Edge [1982], Foundation and Earth [1986], Prelude to Foundation [1988 ], Forward the Foundation [1993]

Certainly read the first one--it's quick and simple. It's good stuff for the imagination. As you can see, Asimov took the thing a long way, as the story of what went on before and after got more complex. There were tie-ins to his robot novels and books referred to as the "Empire" series.

I don't read much science fiction--watch it, yes, but not reading. I can say that I've read all the above books and enjoyed them thoroughly.


Gravatarhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D...h? v=DtVkzgKObv0


GravatarO'Brian writes as if he has actually controlled ships in the early 1800s, and describes them in great detail. You get the sense of the ship sitting in the water, how she handles with certain types of guns or sails, different weights of cargo, how she shifts in the wind with different sails up or down...

It's like someone who tells you about how they drove their manual stick shift car to San Diego in heavy traffic...with the cops looking for him.

Gravatarchucks a well spoken voice of reason, at least that's what he sounds like but he is what's wrong with the Democratic party. He is republican light and no voice of change. His slimy comments and sucking up to faux spews only undermines the good works of this last election. And for the life of me I cannot understand Reid or his promised appointment to LIEberman. Maybe the senate needs a new democratic leader and maybe schumer and Emanual should get the boot.

Thanks, I will. I have read some other Sci Fi, I've gone through the Dune series and Bradbury of course, but was confused by the fuss over the Hitchhiker's Guide. Think I read it too late or something, it felt very dated.
